Anderson Silva Brings In BJJ Big Guns For Bout With Thales Leites

For the fight against Thales Leites, in UFC 97, the champion called what’s best in terms of ground fight: the Jiu-Jitsu world champions Ronaldo “Jacar” Souza and Andr Galvo. And for Jacar, who'll be back at Dream 9 (check here), Anderson is with the ground game ready for the bout.

“Anderson is training well and is strong in all MMA fundaments. Anderson is a phenomenon standing, but if anyone thinks that will take Anderson down and submit, is completely wrong. He’s a talent on the ground, has black belt level”, says Jacar, betting on his friend’s Jiu-Jitsu. “Anderson is intelligent and good on MMA, he can surprise any opponent. But, for this fight, I think he will make a game that he is better.”
